A missed turn in the road took me to Sandpoint. I was astounded! Beautiful lake - many estuaries, bights and inlets, attracting migratory birds (birdwatchers will be familiar with the names Sandpoint and Lake Pend Oreille).
The Flathead L. swim (Mission Valley Aquatics) is the same day, and registration is open now:

Point to LaPointe swim in Lake Superior is usually that weekend as well.
Three Happiness!
